Design Principles for E-Learning
In February 2021 the Canadian eLearning Network (CANeLearn) began engaging educators across Canada in facilitated conversations about teaching in online learning environments. The work began in British Columbia. The purpose of that study was to gain an understanding of the lived experiences of online educators and of those who came to online education during the COVID-19 Pandemic. In March 2021 CANeLearn published the report Design Principles for Online Learning: BC Study (Crichton & Kinsel, 2021) which shared findings from the British Columbia study.

Over the last two-and-a-half years, many people — including educators, academics, education administrators, politicians and political commentators have argued that online learning is detrimental to student or family mental health or well-being.
